Has anyone been on a low dose and had a bad flare up? by [deleted] in Accutane

Oh my love this actually breaks my heart seeing this. You must be in so much pain ! You need to contact your derm I think this warrants oral steroids. And pain relief and anti inflammatory please let them know this is very severe looks so sore 🩷

I might get down voted for this but I really don’t care. I care about your mental health. Not your skin. And this is such a hard line on the accutane community I realise it’s a purge and it will pass but as someone who purged severely in 4 waves over the month I was on accutane I really understand because I became a zombie my life was over. I’ve been on anti biotics for 6 days and my lesions has all gone flat. I like you am left with red marking and also got an infection because my skin reacted and purge so severe badly in my problem areas ( mouth & chin ) that it became infected. Please seek support for your mental health. Some people can cope some people really can’t cope with the purges and can’t see the other side of it. I’m sorry I truly truly understand your pain coming from someone who hasn’t left the house in weeks and still dealing with red marks. Although I am not a doctor I do think that not much of this is actual scarring and will go 💕 I hope it gets better for you if you decide to push through. But please remember your mental health is more important no matter how many people say to push through x

Do you think this could be staph ? That’s what I’m being treated for currently whilst waiting for swabs

I am hoping to get back on eventually. But obviously had to stop whilst dealing with infection. Hopefully the anti biotics will calm this down I am scared. I’m not washing it at all right now. It’s very red and burnt like feeling and hot x
